We are here for such a short period of time in a world that is thousands of years old. Why? What possible difference can we make? After years of study, he discovered that his conclusion should have been obvious all along - and is inescapable, Here is an excerpt from the book: "Have you ever misplaced your glasses and had trouble finding them - because you didn't have your glasses?"Have you ever misplaced your cell phone? You wanted to call someone to have them call you back so you could hear the phone ring and find your phone by following the ring. But of course you couldn't make the call because you couldn't find your phone."In each of these instances, the problem was the inability to recognize something that was easily within reach. In my spiritual journey, I came to realize that the answer to my question - why am I here? - was also easily within my reach. But like the people fumbling around trying to find their glasses, it took a while before I could see straight."

He was stuck in a dead-end job, living paycheck-to-paycheck, and overwhelmed by debt. Bob had been following the world's advice with money and this was the fruit of it. In desperation, he cried out to God for wisdom, for a different way. The answer was a simple four-part formula, one based on timeless biblical principles, and, most important, it worked. After applying this simple formula, Bob discovered that his financial stress melted away and he finally felt fully in control of his money. As he continued to follow the four steps, he paid off over $400,000 in debt, reached a personal goal of giving $1 million by age 40, and achieved a level of financial freedom he never dreamed possible. In his casual and approachable style, Bob (along with his fun-loving wife, Linda) shares everything he learned about achieving true financial freedom, including: • How to create a money system so you can spend less time and get better results • The One-Category Budget: get 80% of the results with 20% of the work • The four keys to earning more in the digital era • How to automate your way to financial success in less than 10 minutes • The secrets of a six-figure giver • Three credit card rules that banks don’t want you to know • How to save $100s each month while still buying what you love • And much more! Whether you are doing “fine” or are in a financial crisis, the included 21-day kick-start will leave you with specific action items to guide you to success. You can have financial security, peace, significance, and eternal impact. Let Bob show you how to reimagine money as it was meant to be: simple.

That moment Rogers chose to have a purpose and followed Joy's simple wisdoms: Choose your friends wisely. Get an education. Never get yourself into anything you can't talk yourself out of. You have fifteen minutes to feel sorry for yourself, then get off your butt and do something about it. This book is an inspiring tribute to her mother. 10% of book proceeds go to Parkinson's research/education. Joy now has Parkinson's.
Download or read book A Simple Life Changing Prayer written by Jim Manney and published by Messenger Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer is a valuable and thoughtful book, and a very practical one, which can be put with confidence into the hands of anyone who wishes to learn to pray the Examen and to find the presence and action of God in their lives.” —Andrea Kelly, Thinking Faith Sometimes we can experience prayer as formal, dry, and repetitious. But what might happen if we discovered a simple prayer that changed all that? In A Simple, Life-Changing Prayer, Jim Manney introduces Christians to a 500-year-old form of prayer that dramatically altered his perception of prayer and the way he prayed. The prayer is the Examen, which St. Ignatius Loyola developed for the purpose of nurturing a reflective habit of mind that is constantly attuned to God’s presence. What makes the prayer so powerful is its capacity to dispel any notion that God is somewhere “up there,” detached from our day-to-day tasks and concerns. Instead, the examen leads us into a relationship with a God who desires to be personally caught up in the lives of those whom he created.
Download or read book The Abyss or Life Is Simple written by Courtney Bender and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An absorbing collection of essays on religious textures in Knausgaard’s writings and our time. Min kamp, or My Struggle, is a six-volume novel by Karl Ove Knausgaard and one of the most significant literary works of the young twenty-first century. Published in Norwegian between 2009 and 2011, the novel presents an absorbing first-person narrative of the life of a writer with the same name as the author, in a world at once fully disillusioned and thoroughly enchanted. In 2015, a group of scholars began meeting to discuss the peculiarly religious qualities of My Struggle. Some were interested in Knausgaard’s attention to explicitly religious subjects and artworks, others to what they saw as more diffuse attention to the religiousness of contemporary life. The group wondered what reading these textures of religion in these volumes might say about our times, about writing, and about themselves. The Abyss or Life Is Simple is the culmination of this collective endeavor—a collection of interlocking essays on ritual, beauty, and the end of the world.

Download or read book The Quest of The Simple Life written by W. J. Dawson and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a considerable number of years I had been a resident in London, which city I regarded alternately as my Paradise and my House of Bondage. I am by no means one of those who are always ready to fling opprobrious epithets at London, such as 'a pestilent wen,' a cluster of 'squalid villages,' and the like; on the contrary, I regard London as the most fascinating of all cities, with the one exception of that city of Eternal Memories beside the Tiber. But even Horace loved the olive-groves of Tivoli more than the far-ranged splendours of the Palatine; and I may be pardoned if an occasional vision of green fields often left my eye insensitive to metropolitan attractions.
